Quest for longest chemical name

[Davo]

Today I thought up a good question.... what is the longest chemical that anyone's heard of? Thought of this while reading about 2,4,6 trinitrophenyl-n-methylnitramine and thought there has to be some around with longer names.
Any help is greatly appreciated
(just a bit of fun, nothing serious)

Well

No, that would be styrofoam. A longer name for that is polystyrene foam.

This word has appeared in the American Chemical Society's Chemical Abstracts and is thus considered by some to be the longest real word.

Scary stuff, since that is actually a living (after a fashion) thing. It is a lot of RNA groups, plus some other stuff, and yet it can kill stuff and reproduce - unlike Arsenic, which kills stuff and doesn't reproduce.

The same chemical name convention, applied to a human, would be hundreds of thousands of pages long, containing various different names. Just the short form of the human blueprint code (AGATTAC, etc.) consists of some 3100 million letters.

I'll paste it below:
